Dialogue and Story Editing with Tricia Wastvedt
Sunday March 4th, 10am-1pm New Oriel Hall, Larkhall, Bath -£38 - Book now 
(disabled access) Writing convincing dialogue is one of the hardest things to master but do not despair! Tricia says 'a publishing editor once told me; most weaknesses in a manuscript can be fixed, but if a writer can't write dialogue, there is nothing I can do.' In this workshop Tricia will give tips, information and practical information to make every line of dialogue earn it's space. She will also help you to hone your story editing skills."Writers must know how to rewrite: it's the process that turns a flawed piece into a finished one."
Come along, meet other writers and learn from a professional author.
TRICIA WASTVEDT, author of The River (long listed for the Orange Prize) and
The German Boy, is also an editor and a tutor on Bath Spa University BA and MA courses in creative writing.

Once I'd overcome my initial fear, it was a very inspiring time! P.I
